Lakers Coaching Staff Welcomes Greg St. Jean
The Los Angeles Lakers are making strategic moves to strengthen their coaching team by bringing in Greg St. Jean as an assistant coach.
St. Jean, who has a rich history with the Lakers, including a championship win in 2020, is rejoining the organization after stints with the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns. His familiarity with star players LeBron James and Anthony Davis is seen as a significant advantage for the Lakers’ new head coach, JJ Redick. Redick has successfully recruited former NBA head coaches Nate McMillan and Scott Brooks as his top assistants, aiming to build a robust coaching lineup.
Aside from coaching decisions, Redick played a pivotal role in the Lakers’ draft strategy, expressing his satisfaction with the selection of Dalton Knecht. Knecht’s addition is part of Redick’s plan to enhance the team’s 3-point shooting capabilities. Redick’s enthusiasm for coaching Knecht underscores the Lakers’ commitment to developing new talent and refining their offensive strategy.
